"Andre Berto is a slick African American fighter who Manny is ducking"

[Khalid X]

But its ok for Pac to fight Margarito, who was suspended for a year for trying to cheat.....comes back, has a poor performance in his first fight. and is granted a shot at Manny.......

If anything is wrong with this sport, its giving a guy who tried to cheat a fight after one decent performance.....

GOing buy your logic...once Vital and Wlad beat Adamek and haye....they shouldnt have to fight again....because they are far and away above any other fighter in the division....how do you expect Berto to prove elite he was if you dont want him to fight the best.....

Just because Manny is a cash cow...doesn't mean he cant give the no. 3 ranked WW a shot at a unification bout.....

Manny closed his options by not fighting JMM or Martinez...thus having to fight at WW, where his options are limited......because of Floyd and his issues, and Mosley putting in two bad performances.......

By fighting someone worth a d@mn. Like I said, I'll give him the quintana fight, but dude should have taken the Mosley fight instead of facing Hernandez. Then there are guys like Cintron and others, but it seems that he if he cant cash out against Manny or Floyd, instead of putting in work he'd rather face **** fighters and steal HBO money.

[| THE KING |]

If Manny had fought Berto last year or May 7.. and destroyed him. We'd still be hearing from a certain fanbase how Berto was green/lacks skill... and hasn't face any elite fighters in his career prior to facing Pacquiao.

I was hoping Manny would fight Berto.. so he'd take his 0.

Ortiz said that Manny had told him.. that Ortiz is faster than Berto and stronger than Berto. That shows how much respect Pacquiao had for Berto as a fighter..

The truth is that Pac will always have his detractors no matter who he selects to fight next, as long as its not FMJ. But the fact is that, although he still has 5-6 bouts left in him, Pac can only fight one opponent at a time. So, every 'deserving' contender needs to just wait for his turn and keep winning. If they lose in the interim, like Berto did, then that's their fault. Don't blame Pac for not selecting them first.

Here are the most likely opponents for Pac in the future:

Mosley
JMM
Bradley
Berto
Cintron
Ortiz
Martinez
Cotto rematch

It shouldn't really matter in what order Pac faces them all, as long as he eventually does. So, let's just be grateful that the Pacquiao show is still in town.

In the end Manny still shouldnt have fought Margarito, a guy that wasn't even ranked, a guy that had no chance, a guy that moves around the ring about the same speed as my grandmother.

He still should have fought a YOUNG, up & commer, fast, powerful guy, he might fight him now though because Berto has been exposed, so Pac will be back to fighting guys who come off a loss

Yes, but I think everybody would rather see Pac rip a hole in a young fighter, than a old ass man, that him and his camp said was old, when Mayweather was beating the **** out of Shane

But that is not what some damn idiots see it. The Berto they all want for Pac was just brutally exposed.

There are really are no other possible worthy opponents aside from those that I listed, aren't there? And all of them can get their turn with Pac as long as they keep winning. Had Berto won the fight in impressive fashion, then he would've been right after JMM in the pecking list. The problem is he lost, so he goes the back of the line to rebuild himself.

Not Pac's fault.

Lol I love how Pac fans put Cintron and the Cotto rematch on the list...why so he can beat the **** out of Cotto twice??

Obviously, fans don't get to pick who they want for certain boxers. This is not new. This has been going on for years. All you are really left with is your own way of seeing fights. Which means you don't bother with idiot's viewpoints. It's no rocket science. They don't know any better.

To say that Cotto, Clottey and Margarito are cherry pick fights is just too damn idiotic to stomach. I can't imagine Floyd cherry picking these guys let alone Berto even at this stage of their careers. That's all I've been saying. But some damn idiots are just too caught up with silly technicalities which means nothing in the ring.
